I would. The OEM bundle reinstall practice you mention is standard Windows functionality, not some scheme they came up with nor BIOS related. Most popular manufacturers use it, it's just that for the crapware funded models, the crapware is part of the OEM bundle. Even if scummy, I think the root kit thing was blown out of proportion. It was surely a slip up by people who don't care on a product line that's on a completely different league than the high end for home users, let alone the business line. Hanlon's razor clearly applies from where I see it.
